Andrew Koltuniuk (747 KP) rated Do the Right Thing (1989) in Movies
Apr 21, 2020
This was my first Spike Lee film. And while I struggled with this film, I really like him as a director. He has a great way of making the film seem so real and bold. I think that Do the Right Thing has a lot of very interesting things to say about the American Culture and makes a lot of good points, it was just very hard for me to relate to any of the characters in this film. I really appreciate the time and the effort that Spike put into this though.

Spike Lee uses black comedy to showcase white horror in all its grotesquerie. BlacKkKlansman (2018) #Review
There’s a deep-rooted discomfort at the heart of “BlacKkKlansman” and it’s the fact that instead of being a historical, true story poking cautionary fun at the ignorance of the past, it instead feels like a howl of furious irony at the recidivism of modern-day America.

The War Within
Da 5 Bloods- is a excellent war drama, the acting, the drama, spike lee did a excellent job with this film.
The plot: Four African American vets battle the forces of man and nature when they return to Vietnam seeking the remains of their fallen squad leader and the gold fortune he helped them hide.
Delroy Lindo is excellent in this.
I highly recordmend watching this. It is on netflix so go watch it.

The Dialog
Cinematic Craftsmanship
The wrong people will see this.... but it's still very good.
First let me say that racism hurts my very soul, it depresses me, and affects me deeply. I know it is alive and well in this country. I really wish it wasn't. I say the wrong people will see this because the people that should see this, don't watch movies like this. Racist people don't watch spike lee joints. Every scene in this movie is beautifully shot, and each ethnic slur packs a punch. I felt slapped around at the end of the film. I felt sick to my stomach and the very tail end was a roundhouse. Normally I don't talk politics, but in this case it's bigger than "politics" and falls under human decency, and we currently are lacking in that. I hope that we can get back on track soon and movies like this will be more comedy than reality.
The acting was superb, and really engaging. there are some big names in this cast. The dialog was so well written despite the horrific things said. The cinematography was excellent, and beautiful. Spike Lee was at the top of his game with this one.
